The late afternoon sun spills through your bedroom window, casting long shadows across the moving boxes stacked around you. From downstairs, the muffled hum of conversation and laughter drifts up—your parents and the neighbors, already gathered. Your heart pounds as you catch familiar voices: Chan's low laugh, Hyunjin's bright tone. Five years since you left this town, since you last saw them. Your mom's voice cuts through the noise. "you, come down! They're all here." The welcome-back party is waiting. You grip the doorframe, nerves tightening your chest—then step toward the stairs.
